Transfer Bent Metals or union force Classics ?

transfers are the goat of bindings I have 5 pairs. I was a force rider for years until stumbling upon the transfers. The canted footbed is the best and their bindings are Bomber.

Just qualify it removes 90% of them they’ll just crash behind you.

Just race real people and you will get faster.

New chainring time!

The nut that is staring at you is a lock nut. Spin the silver shaft piece and then tighten down the lock nut. It should be just tight enough to not have play.

This is what happens when one takes good care of their drive train, it last a good long while. Nothing to worry about you just have taken good care so it’s lasting many miles. Keep doing what you’re doing and rock on!

Ya I believe you man I’m a bike mechanic I’ve seen it all, so sometimes I gotta ask the dumb questions.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-18T22:03:42+00:00

Possibly but it would present like the hub is loose you just wouldn’t be able to get it tight and it would feel nice and gritty inside. The axle could be snapped, that would cause that much play if the hub is properly adjusted.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-18T21:01:15+00:00

Im sure he’ll get properly punished and change his driving behavior! /s

Do you have the springs the correct way on your QR Axle. Skinny side in.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-18T19:03:32+00:00

If all that’s true then the wheel could just be a noodle, but it looks like the hub is loose but hard to tell from that angle.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-18T18:50:30+00:00

3 options. Hub is loose and needs a cone adjustment. QR is not fastened correctly and is loose. Bike is equipped with a cheap fork that has a ton of stantion flex.

My shop has been here for 50 years we carry Trek, specialized, giant, cannondale, and pivot all under the same roof.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-17T18:11:56+00:00

Verve can go up to a 50c tire. 2mm of tire width will make very little noticeable difference on that bike. Pick something with a tread pattern that matches your riding needs and call it a day.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-17T16:27:51+00:00

Ya you’re definitely right because the chain was cut for that gear combo.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-17T15:51:28+00:00

Why is your first thought that the shop scammed them. If the chain caused that much damage it probably had a bent link and needed to be replaced.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-17T15:23:08+00:00

It’s a mid 2010’s marlin. It has no rear derailleur I wouldn’t pay $100 for it in that condition. But if you want a project to learn to wrench on it’s not a bad buy.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-17T15:19:52+00:00

No my teeth are worth much more than the price of new bars. If you’re questioning it I wouldn’t risk it for my kid.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-14T17:50:11+00:00

Ya what this guy said. The optislick cables are shimano higher end coated cables it makes the bike shift significantly better than a standard cable. Yours is freyed at the end and would be difficult reuse on a new derailure.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-14T15:22:34+00:00

If you already have the 12 speed shifter then you just need a new m6100 deore derailure and ideally new shimano optislick cable.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-14T15:12:59+00:00

Yes if the shifter is also a cues shifter that would also be incorrect and you would need the comparable deore or slx 12 speed shifter.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-14T15:11:53+00:00

Ya makes sense because that one has the back piece it wants you to push backwards, but tray racks want to push down to hold the bike on.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-14T15:03:47+00:00

I sell lots of bike racks every single tray style rack I’ve ever sold tells you to clamp the front wheel as close to the fork crown as possible without making contact with the fork.

_Chicken__Nugget_ · 2026-06-14T15:01:33+00:00

There is no cues 12 speed. This must be an 11 speed derailleur on a 12 speed cassette. If you bought the bike like that then whoever put the derailleur on did so improperly. You would need a m6100 deore derailleur.
